The🍬 new weekend schedule will come into effect at Silverstone this weekend on August 4-6, the ne꧂xt round of the championship.

New MotoGP format

Friday morning: 45-minute Free Practice 1
Friday afternoon: 60-minute Prac♏tice (session timed for entr𝓡y into Q2)

Saturday morning: 30-minute Free Practice 2
Saturday morning: 15-minute Qualifying 1
Saturday morning: 15-minute Qualifying 2
Saturday afternoon: Sprint race

Sunday: Warm-up
Sunday: Race

Th❀e key change is that the first session of the weekend, now a 45-minute Free Practice on Friday morning, will no longer be timed for entry into Qualifying 2.

This was approved by the Grand Prix Commission after a unanimous agreement by every Mo🙈toGP team.

From now on, a second session on Friday afternoon called𝓰 Practice will be the only timed session for entry into Q2.

Riders and teams will then get a 30-minute Free Practice 2 session on Sa😼turday morning, before the usual sprint race.

Sunday is unchanged.
